| - Took my beautiful wife here for her seventh 29th birthday. I have to start off by saying that I love the decor of this place. It's just got a really cool feeling to it and its very casual and relaxing.
We ordered a gang of food, more than is probably smart for two people to consume but whatever. The first thing we had was some miso soup and a cucumber salad. Both were good, but really, if your at a place that messes up miso soup and a cucumber salad you should just leave.
The next thing to come out was our spicy garlic edamame. Ever since the first time I had garlic edamame at a place I have yet to write a review for I've made it my sole purpose in life to order it whenever I can. Unfortunately this time it didn't stack up. It had too much siracha (I'm probably butchering the spelling of that but you can figure it out) on it and not enough garlic. It just wasn't anything special.
Next up was the BBQ drunken shrimp. This was really good. I'm not entirely sure what was in the sauce it's floating in but I was tempted to take the straw out of my tea and drink it up (I didn't, but yeah... It was good).
The birthday girl ordered seared tuna. She said it was okay. Since I'm not a tuna fan, I can't comment on it. But I'll take her word for it.
Then they brought us some rock shrimp tempura something. This was stupid good. I mean, really really stupid good. Borderline retarded. It was the best thing we ordered. In hindsight I could have ordered five of these things and eaten myself into a coma. The doctor at the ER would know what I had because of the smile on my face and the massive bulge in my stomach. You know, if I had the ability to do something like that.
Last was the Chernobyl beef. Apparently this must be really hot by some people's standards but it really wasn't that bad. It was pretty good, and perhaps if I had that before the shrimp instead of after I might have enjoyed it more. Honestly, that damn shrimp ruined me for anything else on that menu. Forever.
To sum it all up, I really enjoyed this place. I liked how they brought things out as it was done and staggered it so you weren't overwhelmed. The service was great from everyone we encountered. And if you take nothing else from this review, remember, rock shrimp tempura thing = OMGWTFGOOD.
